Pros:

Palazzo Cardinal Cesi è a due passi (letteralmente) da San Pietro. È un palazzo storico ben tenuto, la sua corte interna è una piccola oasi in cui rilassarsi. Il personale è accogliente e sempre disponibile, con raffinata cortesia. Michela in particolare ci ha assistito con grande professionalità ed empatia.
Ottima la colazione e ben curate le stanze.

top buiten de badkamer
Pros:

De locatie was top alles op een wandelafstand te doen. Enkel voor het Colosseum kan je best het openbaar vervoer of de hop on hop off bus gebruiken.

Cons:

De kamers hadden wel een kleine opknapbeurt nodig de badkamer was klein en de douche was echt mega klein om er in te staan. Er waren stopcontacten die een beetje stuk waren. Je zag op sommige plaatsen dat ze het wat hadden opgelapt, maar het was heel zichtbaar.
